The Phoenix Nest

General
   Name: Richard Lenford
   Age/Birthday: 16, December 3rd
   Gender: Male
   District: 4
   Rich or Poor?: Middle class, but slowly becoming poor.
   Weapon Of Choice: Trident
   Personality/Appearance
   Physical Appearance: Richard was always pretty much the exact opposite of what his brother Robert looked like. Richard has dirty blonde hair, blue eyes and has always looked older than he really is, being 6’ and muscular. Rob on the other hand had always looked much younger than he really was and had brown eyes and hair. Also unlike his brother, Richard seems to smile rarely while Rob would always have a playful smirk.
   Personality: Richard was always the more serious one, pretty much acting like the older brother. However, it got a bit frustrating when Rob would use his age to gain superiority over him, but Rich would always take care of his older brother. Even if Rob always thought it was the other way around, it really wasn’t. Richard now spends his days a bit depressed, always having a pained look in his eyes.
   Flaw: Doesn’t like to get close to anyone after losing his brother to the games
   Talents: Is an excellent fisher like his brother was, is strong, and can climb relatively well
   Family/History
   Family: His mother and father both died at a young age, and his older brother Robert died in the 35th Hunger Games. Richard had his brother cremated and keeps the urn in his room, right next to his bed and keeps a small pouch of the ashes in his pocket when he’s not sleeping or fishing.
   Pets: N/A
   Brief History: When Richard and Rob were young, they were both happy. They would do everything together like watching others fish or fishing themselves. They never entirely knew their parents, seeing as they both died when the boys were young. But that didn’t stop the boys from surviving, looking for scraps and stealing. From the first moment Richard could hold a spear or trident, he went fishing, his older brother following in his footsteps a couple months after. Over time they became excellent fishers, Rob an expert with a spear and Richard a prodigy with trident and net. During this time they would work together a lot and got along great…then they grew up. When Rob was 14 and Richard 13, they began to grow apart. Rob would make friends and hang out with all of them, while Richard would stay inside or fish by himself. Then Richard’s life changed even more.

It was Reaping Day and Richard was standing with his age group while Rob stood with his. All Richard wanted to do was to go out and fish so that he could keep making money for him and his brother while Rob goofed off with a friend or went somewhere with some girl. After the girl name was finally called he sighed as he saw some girl making her way to the stage. Richard didn’t mean to be a jerk or anything, but he didn’t exactly listen to what name was called. Then the it was the boys’ turn…and the name ‘Robert Lenford’ was called. Richard would later go visit his brother before he left, and his brother would tell him a huge lie. “I’ll come back, no matter what. No one will stand in my way…” Rob had said. But Richard could see the sadness in his eyes that made him know his brother had no intentions on coming back.

During the games, he would watch what his brother had become. He turned into some sort of arrogant jerk, not the Rob he had ever known. He knew his brother though, and had known it was just a strategy…a strategy that ended in his own allies killing him. The boy brought shame to District 4, making them look like arrogant jerks like the rest of them. Richard never forgave his brother for that, especially after people would yell at Richard for ‘daring to be related to him’.

General
Name: Marshall Davies
Age/Birthday: 17/September 18th
Gender: Male
District: 6
Rich or Poor?: Rich
Weapon Of Choice: Hammer
Personality/Appearance
Physical Appearance: Marshall has short blonde hair that stops just below his neck with bright blue eyes. He stands at a height of 5'10, but usually wear boots that can just barely get him up to 6'. Other attire of his include a variety of hoodies, other jackets, t-shirts and normally jeans. Other features are that he likes to stand up straight, to make himself slightly taller, and he normally has a frown on his face, though it isn't from sadness normally but instead boredom.
Personality: Marshall may come from a very wealthy family in District 6, but rather than being stuck-up he likes to avoid being viewed as such. This led to Marshall keeping himself away from everyone, making himself more of an outcast than a popular guy, yet he still expects some sort of respect from people without realizing it. For the few friends he does have, he usually likes to joke around with them but normally comes off as serious when meeting someone for the first time. However, he hasn't yet made a friend that has truly broken the serious outer shell that he has.
Flaw: Very paranoid of something bad happening to himself or someone he's close to, which makes him grow apart from most people.
Talents: Fast, smart, and is able to climb relatively well.
Family/History
Family: Father - Mitchell Davies, 45
Mother - Elizabeth Davies, 43
Pets: N/A
Brief History: Marshall comes from one of the wealthiest families in District 6, his father being the head of a very large enterprise that manufactures vehicles for the Capitol. He also has no siblings, which meant he could be spoiled in a way not many could be, but the only thing he ever asked for was something decent to eat and decent clothes. Not anything extravagant, but something that wouldn't make him look terribly poor either. Nothing really interesting happened in Marshall's life that was ever worth him noting, except for having to watch tribute after tribute die in the games which took a toll on him at a young age, as it did for most people.

General
Name: Carson Taves
Age/Birthday: 20/August 11th
Gender: Male
District: 12
Rich or Poor?: Rich
Weapon Of Choice: Maul
Personality/Appearance
Physical Appearance: Carson, like most of his family, has curly hair. However, unlike most of his family, his hair is a light brown color. He has dark brown eyes and stands at a height of 6'3. His normal clothing consists of a striped hoodie, dark jeans, and grey sneakers with red on the backs of them.
Personality: Carson is a very easy guy to talk to, very calm and collected most of the time and also enjoys intellectual conversations. However, if he's pushed to a certain extent, his calm and collected manner could instantly be replaced with outrage. But this only happens every so often, and he is usually able to keep his emotions in check, and usually does it with a lot of sarcasm.
Flaw: Carson can be very unpredictable when he's pushed over the edge, making him a dangerous person to be around if he gets angry, which has the ability to drive people away.
Talents: Carson is strong, fast, and can be very persuasive when talking to people.
Family/History
Family: Both parents are now deceased, but they left behind money for Carson and on top of that he lives with his uncle who is the Head Peacekeeper of the district.
Pets: N/A
Brief History: Carson was born to two fairly wealthy people, his father being a high ranking peacekeeper like his uncle. He led a normal life, and didn't normally use his status to get whatever he wanted, but still liked to dress decently. Decently to him, however, was a hoodie and jeans which his mother never approved of, but he never really cared and would drown her out when she would suggest for him to wear fancy clothes. When Carson was fifteen, his father had been executing a man, when someone decided to get brave and tried to take vengeance. It was only one man, but he was quick enough to get a shot off on his father, but he was also killed on the spot. Shortly after his mother found out, she committed suicide, the loss of him too much to bear, which left Carson with the money his parents had left and his uncle where he's been staying for the past few years.

General
Name: Christian Holt
Age/Birthday: 18/November 12th
Gender: Male
District: 5
Rich or Poor?: Poor
Weapon Of Choice: Sledgehammer
Personality/Appearance
Physical Appearance: Christian was always told he looked very similar to his brother. He has similar curly black hair and brown eyes, but unlike his brother he has facial hair although usually it's little more than stubble. His normal attire is either a black leather jacket or hoodie with dark jeans, and black boots. He stands at a height of 6'2 with a muscular build. From his time spent inside writing songs, Christian has pale skin, slightly more so than others.
Personality: Christian had always been the more serious of the two brothers, but Leon always managed to find the soft spot in him. Whenever he got mad at school and Leon was nearby, he would beg Christian not to fight so he wouldn't get in trouble or do something else to look out for him. But when Leon left for the Games, he immediately lost all the happiness in his life. He was almost certain he'd never see his brother again, being very pessimistic. He also became depressed, spending a lot of time alone, trying to distract himself from the Games. He couldn't bear to watch them, seeing Leon become horribly changed by the Games. It actually kinda scared him...
Flaw: Christian hates letting people in, but if they somehow get in, he doesn't ever want to let go and will value their happiness over his own.
Talents: Christian can play a wide variety of instruments being very musically talented, he's very smart having spent most of his time inside reading books finding out interesting information while looking for more songs to edit and revise, and he's very dexterous from stealing from shops which he's had to do to support his family along with Leon.
Family/History
Family: Christina Holt - Mother, 40 Years Old
Alexander Holt - Father, 41 Years Old
Leon Holt - Brother, Deceased, 17 Years Old
Pets: N/A
Brief History: From the moment Christian was born he loved music. When he would cry, the way his parents got him to stop was to play music. His parents even told him that his first word was "piano" but he wasn't entirely sure about that. Although, it wouldn't have surprised him. When he was a toddler, his brother would run around the house like a maniac, but he would be content watching his father play his guitar or playing his little toy piano. As soon as he was old enough he had his father teach him to play the guitar and in the process learned how to read music. After a while he taught himself the piano, playing when his parents weren't around. Eventually, whenever he found another instrument, he would save up enough money to buy it and learned it within a week. By the time he was fifteen, his room was filled with instruments, some of which he barely used.

When he was thirteen, Christian found an old song that he thought sounded pretty good. After some editing and revising, he showed his brother who quickly learned how to sing it. Now, Christian was a pretty good singer himself, but singing was the main thing Leon had. And he was much better at moving a crowd than Christian, so he let Leon have the spotlight. The song Christian had found would be the first and last song Leon would ever sing for a crowd: "Young Volcanoes". After he taught Leon the guitar, Christian usually had him go out to make money while he stayed inside working on songs, or sometimes just reading. However, Leon managed to convince him to go out and perform with him as Christian was the better guitar player. Even though playing music only supported them a little bit, they still loved doing it and only resorted to stealing when it was absolutely necessary. Their parents both had jobs, but they didn't get paid nearly enough either.

Christian and Leon had gotten extremely close, and both were close to being out of eligibility for the Games. But, of course, that had to come to an end. Christian and Leon had gone to the Justice Building on Reaping day together, just like they always did. All Christian really wanted was to go home and write songs, but what came crushed him. He heard the female name, not really having enough time to figure out who it was, but when he heard the male name he swore his heart stopped for a second. He looked to his brother who stood there, smiling. Nothing ever brought his spirit down...

Christian went to say goodbye to Leon with the rest of his family. But his mother and father left early so Christian could be alone with Leon for a bit. He almost cried as he wrapped his arms around his brother tightly, whispering, "Come back...don't you dare not come back." He couldn't cry then. He had to be strong for his brother. However, Leon just nodded, smiling and said, "I'll be fine...but...if I'm not...show her that song you're making. It would fit us pretty well." And with that, the two were separated from each other forever.
